August seemed to be strangely absent from this episode. There were episode 17 photos of August on a motorcycle outside of Jefferson’s house, and then again of August interacting with Jefferson. Now I’m wondering if those photos are from next week’s episode, whether they were from a scene in episode 17 that got deleted, or whether those were just meant to keep us fans guessing about his identity and potential agenda. Perhaps August was there behind-the-sceens in this episode by helping transport MM quickly back to the sheriff station on the back of his motorcycle. It’s rather mysterious, and I keep waiting for more clues to his identity. This week seemed strangely void of them, though I do think August somehow knew Jefferson would kidnap Emma and MM.
Edit: I’ve since read that August was indeed supposed to be in this episode, but the scene got cut due to limited time. That’s too bad, because I’d have loved to seen him interact with Jefferson.

David too is MIA. I know this episode takes place over a single night, but it would’ve been nice if he had at least put in an appearance at the jail on the night before the arraignment.
Maybe it was a deleted scene. I doubt very much that we are going to see the Hatter next week. I wonder if Emma will look for him too.
And yeah i think Ruby would have been able to help find Mary, but Emma doesn’t believe she is who she is yet.
Yeah, from the pictures I wondered if the Mad Hatter and August were working together some how. I posted this on another thread about Emma being a woman of magic but I think August added pictures to the book that Emma will need in order to start believing but I’m not exactly sure how August would have known which pages he would have had to have added to the book. If he was aware of Jefferson and of what he wanted to accomplish he may have made a reasonable guess that Jefferson would have made an attempt to get Emma to help him (or he may have even been the one to suggest it). If that was the case then it would make sense that adding pages about the Mad Hatter and Grace/Paige to the book so that Emma would recognize them would be a good idea. Even though I keep going back to the idea of August being either Pinocchio or Peter Pan/a lost boy, I still have this nagging idea that he might somehow be Bae. If he was Bae, the scene at the end with Gold/Regina might almost make sense if August and Gold had been working together somehow but didn’t expect Emma and MM to be able to escape the Mad Hatter quite so quickly. Regina could have expected MM to be the only one missing from the arraignment – while Gold would have been expecting BOTH MM and Emma to be missing, or something.

As mad as MM is at David she probably would have decked him with a kick or clocked him upside the head with a rock ala SNOW.
You’re probably right. I also think August was supposed to carry back MM to the police station on his motorcycle (though that doesn’t explain how she got there so fast, because the clock had already struck 8). Hopefully, they’ll explain how she got back so fast next week.
